Dorothy Rose flows better than Dorothy Lily, (because Dorothy and Lily both end in an 'ee' sound). I do like Lily (but it's overused).

Isabella, now you mention it is really gorgeous (but unfortunately also overused). Isabella Rose?
But Dorothy Rose is nice and more unusual.

Unfortunately OH isn’t keen on Beatrice as a first name. 🙁

Agree with pp, Beatrice Rose or Beatrice Lily.

Beatrice rose is beautiful

RogueFemale · 17/06/2024 01:23

Any combo without Lily in it. Lily is so very very overdone.

If you like Beatrice, consider also Beatrix (as in Beatrix Potter).

Rose lily .. still cute name

AdaColeman · 17/06/2024 01:14

Not Nancy Rose, it sounds more like the name for a boat.
Dorothy Lily sounds a little clunky with the two Y sounds so close together. Have you considered Dorothea Lily, that flows better.
Beatrice Lily is lovely.

Out of those options I prefer Nancy Rose

Personally Beatrice Rose is my favourite combination though

Nancy Rose
Dorothy Lily
Lily Beatrice

But I actually like Beatrice Lily better
